Classic Newspaper

A super simple mod that replaces the basic newspaper texture with that of a more lore friendly version as seen in Blue Shift.

Was basically playing through Black Mesa and noticed the newspaper design was identical to Half-Life 2's Newspapers and it took me out of the game. While I guess the original design kind of works since Breen is the administrator of Black Mesa, it just didn’t sit right with me.

Decided it would be a good opportunity to throwback to the classics by replacing the texture with one seen in Blue Shift. I feel it also makes it more accurate as now we see a proper inclusion of “The Mesa Times” in Black Mesa.

Is this mod kind of useless and a waste of time? Yes. Did I make it anyway? Big time.

Credits to Gearbox (and maybe Valve) for the original texture that I altered for this mod
